Beam (Gen 2)
Compact, easy setup, great value, but virtual Atmos disappoints.

Running these analyses costs money. Buy through my links to help keep lights on! I may get a small commission.
So I got both. The ultimea sounds waaaaaay better. Returned the Vizio. It does feel and look cheap but the sound is really good. The sub won't knock your socks off so temper your expectations but it makes watching a movie really pleasant with Dolby atmos. Perfect for a smaller room
I paired my 55 qm7k with Vizio SV510X-08 Perfect for a small room
I just bought this same one from Walmart. I’ll have to follow up once I set it up. My brother had the previous model of this and loves it!!
Got it all hooked up, I’m pleasantly surprised with the audio output and subwoofer. At first it was a little flat, but there are settings to enable more of the sub, which I did. For $120, I’d say this is hard to beat.
I love it for movies! The app lets you modify the sound how you like. So I use the movie setting and then turn up the sub and dialogue so voices are not drowned out which still getting a full sound. We just watched Spirited and it was great!
I bought this and so far so good, keep in mind that the subwoofer is compact
I just bought this same exact model, but I’m having issues with with the right side wireless speaker not working. The subwoofer, left wireless speaker, and subwoofer all work, but the right side has 0 audio no matter what I do, I’ve tried resetting, hard reset, plugging it out and back in and nothing, any fix to this or no?
3 days into purchasing this; not bad for the price. The sound out of the soundbar is a bit muddy for music, also for some reason the subwoofer is a bit underwhelming, I get more bass out of the soundbar than the subwoofer. Tried changing the levels for the different speakers on the app. Movies sound very good for my small bedroom (Not stellar for music I'd say). I accidentally unpaired the subwoofer when I tinkered around. took a few tries and resets to get it re-paired. Satisfied with the product for the price. Now gotta see how it holds up over time. Edit: Volume control sensitivity is very low when paired via bluetooth to my iphone. Jumps a whole lot for one press of the volume button.
